title: Case management: a team approach.
abstract: When establishing a case management program, patient populations were identified; goals and measures defined; and a case manager role developed. A registered nurse and a social worker team manage the patients in the program. After 9 months, a pilot study shows a total savings of $94,159 using case management.
